鐵娘子的柔情~Pomerol六大酒莊 優雅精緻的La Conseillante
波爾多右岸的Pomerol產區酒莊規模都不大，卻菁英輩出，La Conseillante被公認為Pomerol六大酒莊之一。“La Conseillante”這個名字可以追溯到300年前，由原本從事金屬買賣而有「鐵娘子」之稱的Catherine Conseillan女士購買了莊園，並打響名號。後由Nicolas家族收購，設計了La Conseillante的酒標，中心”LN”的字樣象徵著尼古拉在莊園漫長歷史的印記，而紫羅蘭色的封籤設計，代表著莊園紅酒明顯的紫羅蘭特色酒香，獨特顯眼的設計被一直沿用至今。有“葡萄酒皇帝”之稱的Robert Parker分享了他心目中的“The Magical 20”（傑出20），這20個酒莊已達到一級莊的水準，但價格仍然親民，絕對值得入手。而La Conseillante便名列其中。
Château La Conseillante的風格是優雅、絲滑的單寧和天鵝絨般質地的紅酒。它從來不是最雄壯的Pomerol，也不是最濃郁的，但它是Pomerol最和諧、最精緻的紅酒之一。常帶有黑覆盆子、李子、黑櫻桃、巧克力和花朵的香氣，酒質優雅感性、精緻清新。
An absolutely amazing wine from the Nicolas family, this is from another estate in Pomerol that is pushing the envelope to higher and higher quality. The final blend has moved to smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, now approximately 20%, with the balance 80% Merlot. Through crop-thinning, yields have been reduced to an average of 35 hectoliters per hectare. Inky bluish/purple color and stunning sweet tannins embrace a full-bodied opulent Pomerol with beautiful, floral-infused black raspberry, blueberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, yet elegant, this is a brilliant marriage between finesse and power. Stunningly pure, this wine can be drunk young or age magnificently for 20 or more years.
